Hello World,

On 2007-10-23, I sent out the first call for talks for the DebianDeveloper's room at FOSDEM 2008[1]. Since then, I've received four talkproposals, which is a good start, but by far not good enough.

For those who don't know it, FOSDEM is the Free and Open SourceDevelopers' European Meeting, which traditionally takes place at theCampus Solbosch of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in Brussels,Belgium, during the last weekend of February; this means that in 2008,the event will occur during the weekend of 2008-02-23 and 2008-02-24[2].For more information, please see the FOSDEM website[3]. I've been toldthat the Debian Developers' room at the upcoming event will be in thesame cosy but slightly cramped location as last year (a room with 76seats).

To recap, interested speakers should contact me with the followinginformation:- The title of the talk- A short abstract of the talk- Their name, and a bit of background about themselves suitable both to be put on the public website and to be used to give the audience a short introduction about the speaker[4];- The amount of time you think you'll need for your talk, including set-up and questions (1 hour max)

Please do not send me overly long abstracts; I don't use the abstractinformation as a major deciding factor in whether your talk will beaccepted, and if it is too long, I'll probably have to trim it.
